The case of the death of a BJP leader from Jehanabad during the protest march against the teacher recruitment policy of the Bihar government has caught fire. A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court in this matter. The petition sought a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the death of the BJP leader or constitution of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by a retired apex court judge.
According to the information, this PIL has been filed by Bhupesh Narayan through advocate Varun Sinha. In this, a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry has been demanded into the death of the BJP leader on March 13. Also sought a direction to the investigating agency to take possession of all the FIRs lodged by the local police of Patna in connection with the incident. Along with this, a demand has been made to investigate the role of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, Director General of Police, Senior Superintendent of Police, District Magistrate of Patna (Respondent No. 1 to 6) and other officers.
The petition alleged that the state government was engaged in shielding the real culprits of the incident which took place during a peaceful procession organized by the Bharatiya Janata Party. The petition states that the abuse of power against Indian citizens is a serious violation of individual fundamental rights and a threat to public safety.
